WYGI (1430 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Madison, Tennessee, and serving the Nashville metropolitan area. WYGI and sister station WHPY-FM simulcast a classic hits radio format. They are owned by Kensington Digital Media and are known as "Hippie Radio." The stations focus on the "hippie era," playing the hits of the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
By day, WYGI is powered at 15,000 watts non-directional. But at night, to protect other stations on 1430 AM from interference, it reduces power to 1,000 watts and uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is on Nesbitt Lane in Nashville, near Gallatin Pike North (U.S. Route 31E).[2]
